Our association was invited to present this special event with a unique perspective on this subject which is a key factor in economic state of affairs in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

Imagine Tours has become an important organization at the local, regional and international levels through a combination of historical interests, the promotion of Provence and Greater Occitania through "Occitan" culture and language, its heritage and its products. We also provide services that include assistance to visitors and the many activities it proposes or sponsors through the funding that tourism provides.

Imagine Tours, which is supported by the regional Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur government also works in partnership with the Tourist Office of Avignon and 80 partners in all fields of culture and tourism in the region.

The media has not been silent about our association. We have been recommended by since 2009, and in collaboration with since 2012 the "Rick Steves'" guidebook which is the most sought after and popular in both the United States and Canada. Numerous newspaper articles, radio interviews, a documentary on the television station "France 3" discussed the activities of our association. Imagine Tour's president received the honor of being inducted and appointed Lieutenant of the Brotherhood of Saint Vincent in Visan (Vaucluse) for the achievements of our organisation to promote regional culture and products in 2011.

David Price, President and Joelle Seisson, historian will be the speakers, and will present an overview of regional tourism, economic key of the region, and will discuss:
